Led by singer Ilya Lagutenko (Илья Лагутенко), who formed the first version of the band in 1981, as a garage band project in Vladivostok. The band Мумий Тролль was officially formed in 1983. As the Soviet Union collapsed, Lagutenko temporarily left music behind to work in the UK and China (he is fluent in both Mandarin and English). Upon their first proper release, Morskaya (Морская, Nautical) in 1997, the band became hugely popular in Russia. In 2001 they represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest. Since then, the band has gained popularity internationally. They toured in North America with The Agency in 2009.

To date they have released eight studio albums (one being a soundtrack for a movie), and a number of compilations.

Недопонимающая
Мумий Тролль Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Если б ветром я бы в море стал
Раскрошил бы чуть прибрежных скал
Положил бы пару кораблей вверх дном
В этот выходной
Удивишься что такой безумный я
Сиганул на материк вроде не с буя
Вроде не нетрезв так что же радость ты моя

Недопонимаю-ща-а-я

Это я тебе танцую так
Ты в ладоши хлопнешь вскликнешь - Ах!
Сердца твоего отгрызть значит удалось мне лакомке
Все предельно честно
На девятый вал
Робкими глотками смаковал
Почти все знал минул объехал
Твой хулиган
Пробирался таки

Пробирался таки сам
Но недопонимал

Клоун сдаст все секреты цирка
В подарок свистнет любимую копилку
Здесь меня нет и ты не моя
И я тоже недопонимаю

Недопонимаю что-то я

Если б ветром я бы в море стал
If I became wind in the sea

Раскрошил бы чуть прибрежных скал
I would crush some coastal rocks

Положил бы пару кораблей вверх дном
I would capsize a couple of ships

В этот выходной
On this weekend

Удивишься что такой безумный я
You'll be surprised at how crazy I am

Сиганул на материк вроде не с буя
I went to the mainland, seemingly not recklessly

Вроде не нетрезв так что же радость ты моя
I'm not drunk, so what's the joy, my dear?

Недопонимаю-ща-а-я
I don't quite understand- ing-ing-ing

Это я тебе танцую так
This is me dancing for you like this

Ты в ладоши хлопнешь вскликнешь - Ах!
You'll clap your hands and exclaim - Ah!

Сердца твоего отгрызть значит удалось мне лакомке
I managed to bite off a piece of your heart, my sweet
